A Strange Encounter

The trees swayed in the wind and a flash of lightening lit up the forest. Suddenly in a pool of light, a strange creature appeared and said, ‘Help me’.

          Fascinated I ran towards it. It had a mechanic voice and upon further inspection I realized that it was human lookalike robot. It looked like a man of 23 years and said that it had strayed away from the Artificial Intelligence lab outside the forest and was desperately running out of battery. It was the top-secret peace treaty alliance with Japan to end the World War III. Its presence could make or break the war. I was awestruck by the machine standing infront of me and couldn’t believe it was the legendary Human2.0 robot who’s news was being rumored. All of a sudden, we could hear the buzzing of a helicopter and like a string was attached to its feet, the robot sprang up and started running towards the sound. It seemed that there was a magnetic current in the air that was pulling it. Confused I ran behind him and suddenly felt a barrier all around me. I realized that the magnetic barrier was not letting me pass through. I shouted at the robot but it paid no heed to me and continuously ran towards the helicopter.

         Then suddenly, the wind started howling and there were tremors across the earth. I felt myself falling deeper and deeper into a black hole. My mouth was opened in a silent scream and I could do nothing but fall. The next time I opened my eyes, I saw myself right where I initially was but the robot was nowhere to be seen.
